Waves Lyrics by Dr Slay

What Love Taught Me

2021

Verse:
One minute I’m high
Then the other real low
Some days I miss you
And the others I don’t

Feeling bipolar I don’t know how to cope

Niggas out here selling dreams with a bottle of hope

I’ll put it on layaway
And pull it out on the rainy days
Couple hits of that reefa
Seem to Help Take the pain away

Or more like numb it
Cause when it wares off i plummet
Back into a place of despair
And to where no sun is

But I like the dark
It cloaks me and my insecurities
So I don’t get picked apart

Self awareness Is a fleeting art

My ability to judge my self
Is off the charts

To list all my demons
I don’t know where to start

Call em out by name
No mega phone cause of shame
Whispering my dirty secrets
Like they can’t see the stain

They won’t wash out
I try to bleach the pain

The mistakes remain

But whose to blame?


Pre-Chorus:
Lost in a sea of emotions
Ride the wave
Knocked on my back now I’m floatin
Ride the wave

Chorus:
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave

Verse:
This ain’t depression
I left that in adolescence
This shouldn’t be a question
Now I’m 2nd guessing

I cook, I clean
I can do so many things
Maybe it’s not what it seems
Just need to boost my esteem

Nah nigga you just functioning
Telling yourself lies
That you find comforting
Hiding in accomplishments

Maybe I should get some help
But there a stigma on mental health
I’ll just talk to God and fix myself

Conversations I have with myself

Does that make me crazy too?

Throw in schitzo while we’re at
Now I’m being dramatic
Causing myself to panic

A flare in my anxiety
That couples my manic

I’ll replay every scene
Deal with it in my dreams

Under water I’ll scream
Under water I’ll scream

I’ll replay every scene
Deal with it in my dreams

Under water I’ll scream
Under water I’ll scream

Pre-Chorus:
Lost in a sea of emotions
Ride the wave
Knocked on my back now I’m floatin
Ride the wave

Chorus:
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave (Ride the wave)
Ride the wave
